Chapter 12 12. Tathagata's ulterior conspiracy

"Hmph, I've searched all over him, but there's no gold at all!" Drifting stood there covered in bruises and complained. Lying at his feet is the corpse of Fu Haijiao. Bajie also came to the pool. The little white dragon came out of the water. "Clarified?" Bajie asked. "It's clear." Xiao Bailong sighed. "Let's go then." Bajie and Drifting lifted Monkey King up, but Little White Dragon stood still. "What's the matter? Why don't you leave?" Drifting asked. "Now that everything is clear, what else am I going to do on the Westward Journey?" Xiao Bailong looked blankly at the sky.

"Haha... Senior Sister, is this the ending you've been waiting for?" Avalokitesvara and Lingji descended from the clouds. "Junior Brother, Xiaobailong is different from them." Guanyin said to Xiaobailong again, "Little Bailong, your grievances are over, if you don't want to go to the west, go southeast two hundred miles from here, there There is a Jisai Kingdom, and there is a Jinguang Temple in it. This deity will seal you as 'Eight Dragons' now, so you can go there and be the guardian of the country!" "Thank you, Bodhisattva." The little white dragon appeared and flew to the southeast, leaving only his belated final confession to the Dragon Girl: "In your vast inner world, can you accommodate loneliness?" Me like a sail? I hope that I will stir up waves of love in your peaceful life. I know that time has passed for a long time, and I should have forgotten you earlier. Please don't blame me for saying such provocative words, Because you will always be my ocean."

"Bodhisattva, where are you going?" Bajie asked. "Western Tianmian Sheng." Avalokitesvara replied calmly. "What?!" The two were surprised. A few days later, Jinguang Temple was changed to "Tianlong Temple". We must continue to go west. Although we don't know how many murderous opportunities are hidden ahead, one thing is certain, as long as Jin Chanzi is still alive, we have the capital to win. "Wujing, lift up the monkey, let's go." Bajie said. "It's just the two of us, why go?" Drifting complained. "The monk is not dead yet, we are going west."

"Even the Bodhisattva has been arrested, and we don't know what the Tathagata will do to us?" "What's the matter with him coming? Have you forgotten the words left by the Bodhisattva?" "With or without me, you have to keep going. You are completing a mission, for yourself, not for anyone." "Alas!" Drifting sighed and carried Monkey King on his back. There are thousands of layers of auspicious fog and thousands of golden lotuses. The two elders stood in front of Cuilan. "Scorpio, why don't you do it?" "I...I can't..." Cuilan choked up, "How could I kill the person I love with my own hands?"

"Scorpio, you have disappointed Buddha too much." Kasyapa said in a deep voice. Cuilan suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis, and as soon as she raised her head, a golden light hit her. "what--" "Senior brother Kasyapa, you are too lenient." Anuo jumped up, ready to give the seriously injured Cuilan another fatal blow. Suddenly, a flash of silver light came swiftly, forcibly blocking Anuo's fatal blow. "Huh? Qingfengmingyuejian? It's you again?" Qingfeng and Mingyue stopped in front of the two Venerables again. "There's me too, don't forget." Bajie appeared behind the two venerables.

"Hmph, just the three of you?" Kassapa sneered confidently. "They can't. But with me it's different." Two people flashed out from behind Bajie, they were Sun Wukong and Drifting Monk. "What? Sun Wukong?!" "Don't be afraid, Junior Brother." Kasyapa said, "He has been seriously injured. With their strength alone, we may still win." "Hmph! Although Old Sun has only recovered 50%, it is enough to deal with you." "Huh! Monkey King, don't talk big!" A Nuo became energetic. "Ha! Someone wants to talk big? It's really going to become a 'Westward Journey'!"

"Zhu Bajie, you won't be in the mood to joke after a while!" Kasyapa also secretly performed his magic skills. "'A Chinese Journey to the West'? That's a good name." A familiar voice came from Tian Lai: "Let me join your game too!" The two venerables suddenly raised their heads and were immediately surprised. "Second...Second senior brother!!" Anuo was so frightened that he was looking for his chin all over the floor. The person who descended was—Jin Chanzi. Jin Chanzi was surrounded by a layer of spiritual light, descending from the sky.

"If you add another me, how will the situation be? Brother Kasyapa?" Jin Chanzi laughed. "Hmph! Smelly! Let's go!" Kassapa left behind a sentence unconvinced. "Wait, big brother! My chin..." Anuo followed pitifully. "Cough!" Wukong fell down again. "It's hard for you, monkey." Jin Chan supported Monkey King. "You... called me a monkey?" Wukong laughed. "Cuilan, how are you?" Bajie picked up the dying Cuilan. "I'm going to die..." Cuilan said, "I still want to ask you one last question."

"..." "do you like me?" "I like you. But only as a brother and sister." "Hehe... before I die...you won't lie to me..." Bajie was speechless. "I'm so cold, can you hold me tight? Brother Peng..." Cuilan's face turned pale, and she began to tremble all over. Bajie hugged her tightly. "It's so warm..." Cuilan smiled contentedly. Bajie was silent. "Chang'e... really happy..." Cuilan closed her eyes, and began her daydream before death. "I yearn for your warmth...because...I am a wounded person. I always hope that my wounded heart...can have a warm bed...God...Peng..." Cuilan had a happy expression on her face. With a smile, he passed away.

Bajie buried his head deeply. For a long time... "Crack"!A crystal tear dripped from the dark face and splashed onto Cuilan Anxiang's body. "Snapped"!Another drop, third drop, fourth drop... Jin Chanzi came up from behind, patted Bajie's shoulder, and smiled kindly: "Pig, don't cry, stand up, be strong. Walk west with me, come!" The four of them started walking west again. "Monk, why is this so?" "Pig, this is fate!" "Although I am an immortal, I no longer believe in this." Jin Chan suddenly stopped and looked at Ba Jie; Ba Jie also turned around and looked at Jin Chan.

"Actually, I didn't believe it eight hundred years ago." Jin Chan laughed again. "Hey! You two walk slowly, okay? Take care of me!" Drifting struggled to catch up with the monkey on his back. "How can you be slow? There are monsters ahead!" Bajie said. "..." "It's a golden monster!" "Hey hey haha..." "Hey! Watch out for monkeys..." Lion Camel Ridge. "What? They're all dead?!" The three demon kings were shocked. "I thought Sun Wukong was injured, and their fighting power should be greatly reduced. Why even the second brother..." "I didn't expect them to come to Shituoling." "It doesn't matter, we have already gathered a hundred thousand monsters, and there are only three of them left, let us treat them well!" "Wait a minute, everyone, don't forget our main purpose - to kill Monkey King and take the seat of the first demon king, so that the demon world will be covered by me, Dapeng!" "Yes, let the 100,000 monsters be a witness!" "Haha... so you have such a plan." Xiang Wu protects the golden lotus, and A Nuo arrives. "Huh? Isn't this Venerable Anuo? Why do you come here?" Dapeng recognized it as Anuo, "I am no longer under the control of the Tathagata, right?" "Dapeng, this time the Buddha has a purpose for you." "Ha! Tathagata, please ask me if you have anything to do. Why do you come here for some 'order' to play! Haha..." Dapeng looked up to the sky and laughed, and all the monsters laughed along with him. "Presumptuous!" Anuo shouted. "Huh? Your lord, your jaw seems a little crooked. Did you eat something that is not easy to chew?" Anuo clutched his chin reflexively, and threw the Buddha's edict to Dapeng: "Stop talking nonsense! You can see for yourself!" Dapeng took the Buddha's decree and read it with a complicated expression. "Hmph! Tathagata didn't believe what he said, how could I be so stupid as to help him?" "The great lord has something to say first, if you have any doubts, please ask the Dapeng Demon King to go to the west to face the saint!" "Huh? How dare you threaten me?" Dapeng said angrily. "That's what the great lord said." Dapeng fell silent again. "Third Brother, what did the Tathagata say?" "He told us to eradicate Jin Chanzi by the way." "Who is Jin Chanzi?" "It's Tang Seng. If I can do it, let me return to the Buddha's Heaven, confer the title of 'Buddha King Jinpeng Supreme King Bodhisattva', and be on the same throne as the Buddha mother Peacock Daming King." "Then you are not the Buddha King?" "I'm afraid this is a Tathagata's conspiracy." "Anyway, we will be 'death to those who stand in the way'. After a fight to the death, let alone Monkey King, it is a question of whether the bones of the other three can be picked up. If not, just sell Tathagata's favor. When you don't accept us, there is also a way out." "Sixth brother is right. Good! I promise Tathagata. When the four of them come, you are ready to collect Jin Chanzi's corpse!" Beside the Bibo Pool, stood three people, old and young. A woman's voice said: "They won again." "Okay!" a man said, "I've decided, we should help them." "Ha! I didn't expect that even your family would be involved." Kassapa came out where the auspicious clouds fell. "Why are you back?" the man asked. "I just came to confirm the death of Scorpio, but unexpectedly I met the family of the famous Pingtian Great Sage Bull Demon King." The Bull Demon King said, "What do you want?" "As a supporting role, it's best to step aside." "Hmph! Tathagata wants to kill Sun Wukong now, how could the author not let me appear?" "You know that there is only one way for those who oppose the great venerable." Kasyapa sneered. Both Rakshasa and Honghai held out their weapons: "Do you think you can defeat us?" "Hmph..." Kasyapa smiled sinisterly, "If the Bull Demon King wants to bet the lives of his family, I have no objection." "Although I don't agree with Sun Wukong going to the west to see the Tathagata, it is his own decision, and I will definitely respect him." The Bull Demon King drew out a magic knife that was eight feet long, and said, "Sun Wukong is my good brother. If anyone wants him to die, I, the Bull Demon King, will be the first to disagree." Outside the Leiyin Temple in Xitian. "Junior Brother Lingji, please don't talk when you face the saint later," Guanyin said. "Senior sister, what the junior brother has decided, you must work hard to the end. Don't persuade me." "I'm afraid you'll hurt yourself." "No, Senior Sister. Please!" Guanyin let out a long sigh, and stepped in with Lingji... "Monk, are we going to die here?" Bajie held the nail palladium in his hand, and leaned against Jinchan tightly back to back. "No. It's only 10,000, 20,000, 30,000...it's less than 80,000! You're talking about 100,000 monsters, you're scaring people." Jin Chanzi pointed at the monsters all over the mountains and plains. "Wow! You are so fucking humorous! I am convinced of YOU!" "Pig, don't forget to promise me?" "I'm not so forgetful, but you, you agreed too?" The two knew it well, they both agreed to the same thing - not to die! "Monsters, listen up!" King Dapeng ordered, "That monk with aura all over his body is Tang Seng; the one with that dark face behind his back is our Great Sage Equaling Heaven! Do you know what to do?" "Know!!" The shout was earth-shattering. "Tang Seng has a spiritual light to protect his body, and the monsters above the thirtieth stage will kill him, and other monsters, etc., will rescue the Great Sage! Kill!" When Dapeng gave an order, the whole mountain moved. "It's really him who dissected me so thoroughly. Pig, you have to be careful." "why?" "The vast majority of monsters are below the thirtieth rank." As soon as the words were finished, they were rushed away by the demon group. "Little San, protect the monkey!...the golden monkey!" Bajie shouted in the direction of Drifting Monk. "Hey hey haha..." Only in this way can Drifting get excited. Ba Jie kept waving the nail palladium, he knew he was hurt, but he couldn't stop, stopping would mean death.He promised the monk that he would not die!He still wants to see the sweetheart he dreams of all day, he can't die! Bajie tried his best to use all the tricks he could think of in his life. In the end, he simply stopped thinking about it. Survive, so he fends off those deadly moves, as long as he doesn't die. "The evil water is rampant!" Bajie resorted to the forbidden power of the heavens - he violated another heavenly rule. Under several shock waves, countless monsters were easily thrown out, and only Zhu Bajie was left in the center. Bajie half-kneeled on the ground, propping his body up with his hands, before he could catch his breath, the monsters came up again in a circle. Bajie said to himself: Don't die! He clenched the nail palladium again, and rushed forward! "Chang'e—" "Ah? Canopy!!" Chang'e suddenly called out. Jade Rabbit pricked up its ears cleverly. "No...it won't happen. Nothing will happen to the canopy, no, it won't... woo..." Chang'e knelt under the withered sweet-scented osmanthus tree, crying sadly. Seeing its owner sad, Jade Rabbit couldn't help drooping its long ears. "Great Sage, Great Sage!" Centipede rushed to Dapeng excitedly with eight spider spirits, and placed Monkey King at Dapeng's feet. "We saved the demon king!" "Who is the Great Sage?" Dapeng said coldly. "You are not the Holy Ghost..." Before he could finish speaking, Dapeng raised his sword and decapitated the centipede. The Eight Demons trembled with fright. "Listen," Dapeng said, "from now on, I will be the king of monsters!" His majestic aura made the witches kneel and kowtow. "Sun Wukong, you have finally fallen at my feet! Take your myth of invincibility and immortality, and go to the Naihe Bridge to tell a story!" Dapeng raised his sword and stabbed down.Suddenly a golden light hit. "Get up!" The despicable Dapeng used eight spider spirits to block this move, and the poor eight demons all died. "Ah?" Dapeng was taken aback—it turned out to be Jin Chanzi standing in front of him. "Are you going to kill him?" Jin Chanzi still smiled. "You...why weren't you injured?" "Thirty paragraphs are not enough to fight, you see." Dapeng looked along the light, and all the demons of the thirty or forty stages were wiped out. "Fifty paragraphs is enough!" This was obviously provoking Dapeng. Dapeng was angry. Drifting was beaten again and hit a big rock. Facing the weapons of the group of monsters being cut down, he was powerless to fight back. At this time, a group of sword energy struck and killed the monsters around him—it turned out to be Qingfeng and Mingyue. Ba Jie has been wounded in more than a hundred places, but he is still fighting non-stop. As long as he is running, jumping, seeing monsters, and hearing his own screams, it means he is still alive. "Marshal Tianpeng, I'll help you!" A huge magic knife waved and killed the monsters. That man cut a bloody path and bumped into Bajie. "Who are you?" "The Great Bull Demon King." "You? Came for the monkey?" "yes." "You are wounded all over, did you encounter an enemy before?" "I used the life of my family to stop the two venerables of Tathagata." "What?!" Bajie was taken aback. "No time to be surprised! Saving Monkey King is the key!" "What are you talking about! Everyone will be saved!" The two entered the battle again.
